Cleaning Patio Slabs

in Old style MoneySaving
Hello,
I've not posted on here before.

Does anyone have a moneysaving way to clean dirty patio slabs?

I don't have access to a power washer.

I have seen in my local DIY store that Jeyes do a chemical one.
But I am cautious of killing anything if I use chemicals.

Is there a cheaper effective way that anyone has tried?

Thanks awfully
SB

    I have used stardrops and a stiff brush with some success
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    I never used chemical cleaners either - had the pets to consider! just used soapy water and a very hard brush!
